Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of strabismus and nystagmus and to analyse associated factors in preterm and full-term infants in adulthood.
Methods: The Gutenberg Prematurity Eye Study is a retrospective cohort study with a prospective ophthalmological examination of participants born preterm and full-term (aged 18-52 years). Perinatal data were carefully assessed for risk factors and comprehensive ophthalmological examinations were conducted.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the ophthalmologic care received by preterm and full-term infants during childhood and adolescence, based on feedback from their parents.
- It involved a retrospective cohort study where parents of individuals, now aged 18 to 52, were interviewed about the eye care their children received, with participants categorized based on gestational age and presence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
- Results showed high satisfaction with the eye care provided, particularly for children with ROP, noting that most parents felt the treatment was adequate, although some reported changing ophthalmologists due to dissatisfaction.

Effect of contact lenses on the protein composition in tear film: a ProteinChip study.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
February 2011
Background: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the effects of rigid gas permeable and soft contact lenses on the protein composition in the tear film of contact lens wearers.
Methods: Wearers of soft contact lenses (CL_S, n = 13) and rigid gas permeable contact lenses (CL_H, n = 13) were recruited for this study. Thirteen non-contact lens wearers were also included as the control.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of intravitreal injections of ranibizumab in the treatment of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Retrospective, consecutive case series of 26 eyes (26 patients) treated with intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab for RAP.
Is buckle surgery still the state of the art for retinal detachments due to retinal dialysis?
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
January 2011
Purpose: Retinal dialysis is a frequent cause of retinal detachment in infants and young adults. The authors report long-term results obtained with conventional detachment surgery in a large consecutive series.
Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 50 patients with retinal detachment due to dialysis underwent a segmental buckling procedure between January 1990 and December 1998.
Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy due to abdominal hemorrhage after laparotomy for uterine myoma.
Arch Gynecol Obstet
January 2010
Introduction: This retrospective observational case report describes a very rare but dreadful ocular complication due to severe blood loss in association with a major surgical procedure. It is the first time that this complication is reported in gynecological surgery.
Case Report: A previously healthy 41-year-old woman underwent hysterectomy because of large uterine myomas.
Purpose: To report clinical and spectrographic analyses of 2 explanted hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, and Johannes Gutenberg-University, Department of Ophthalmology, Mainz, Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate the extent of capsular bag shrinkage after cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and develop a regression formula to predict postoperative capsular bag size.
Setting: Eye Hospital, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, Germany.
Methods: The axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth, and corneal radius in 58 eyes were measured preoperatively.
Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new and most promising treatment modality for up to medium-sized choroidal melanoma at the posterior pole. We analysed the results of conventional ruthenium-106 brachytherapy in these special tumour subgroup.
Patients And Methods: Results of ruthenium-106 brachytherapy (radioactive dose to the tumour apex 150 Gy) in a series of 52 eyes with primary malignant choroidal melanoma (posterior to the equator, thickness View Article and Find Full Text PDF
Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) as an adjunct to ruthenium brachytherapy for treatment of choroidal melanoma with reduced radioactive dose.
Patients And Methods: In a prospective nonrandomised analysis 15 eyes with primary malignant melanoma of the choroid (posterior to the equator, thickness View Article and Find Full Text PDF
